Gold in color with a hazy complexion. There’s an inch of creamy dishwater white on top. The head quickly dissipated to a fingernail around the rim and covering most of the top. The aroma has a tart, funky, fruitiness from the Belgian triple yeast. I’m initially tasting a citrus hop flavor and then it is quickly overtaken by fruity, and tart raw melon. The finish is bitter citrus hops and more melon. The mouth is moderately carbonated and dry.

 

Pours a near murky pale orange with a finger of white foam. Head retention is good. Aroma is papaya, orange and tangerine tropical fruits with a little bready, clove yeast popping in behind. Flavor profile is papaya, orange, tangerine and grapefruit with slightly bready, sweet yeast with a touch of clove. Mouth feel is lightly creamy with a little silty grain to it. It has a medium-thick consistency. Overall, tropical fruit heavy mixed with slightly sweet bready yeast and clove mixture. Balance is great, but leans towards tropical fruits without a doubt. A unique NE IPA with Belgian yeast.

Served in a Speigalau snifter from a 16oz can.
